Avio Smart Market Stack Limited has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Tripura to establish a state-of-the-art freeze-drying facility for fresh fruits and vegetables in the state. The project is expected to strengthen Tripura’s agro-processing ecosystem, reduce post-harvest losses and create sustainable employment opportunities while enhancing market access for farmers across the Northeast.
The facility, titled “A Freeze-Drying Initiative on Fruits and Vegetables for Tripura,” will use advanced freeze-drying technology to preserve the quality, nutritional value and shelf life of fresh produce. The project is expected to create around 500 direct and 800 indirect employment opportunities, while supporting the development of an integrated value chain for the state’s horticulture sector.
The initiative will enable farmers to minimise post-harvest losses, improve value addition and access premium domestic as well as international markets. By extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, the facility is expected to improve price realisation for growers, reduce food wastage and contribute to the long-term growth of Tripura’s agricultural economy.
The MoU was signed during the Destination Tripura Business Conclave 2026, an investment promotion initiative organised by the Government of Tripura to attract industries and accelerate economic development in the state. As part of the conclave, the Department of Industries & Commerce facilitated interactions between investors, entrepreneurs and government leaders. During the event, Professor Dr Manik Saha, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tripura, appreciated the proposed project and its potential contribution to strengthening the state’s agri-processing infrastructure.
Commenting on the development, Dr Raja Krishna Murthy Morla, Head – Agri Tech Business, Avio Smart Market Stack Limited, said, “Tripura’s strong agricultural base and the proactive support of the state government provide an excellent foundation for this initiative. Our freeze-drying facility will help build a resilient value chain for fruits and vegetables by bringing advanced food processing closer to the source of production. We are committed to working closely with farmers and stakeholders to improve value addition, expand market opportunities and support sustainable agricultural growth.”
